Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bramwell, WV.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Bramwell struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
